A mysterious new concept car will be revealed at the 2023 Tokyo Motor Show<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The Mazda MX-5 has stuck with the same rear-drive, soft-top formula since it was introduced in 1989, and the current fourth-generation model has just been updated, but a new concept car set to be revealed at the forthcoming Tokyo Motor Show could provide us with our first glimpse at the iconic roadster\u2019s future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The theme of Mazda\u2019s stand at the show will be \u2018the future created by the 'love of cars', which the as-yet-unnamed concept will apparently symbolise. Mazda\u2019s display will also focus on the MX-5, and the brand\u2019s \u2018continued commitment to the creation of products that satisfy customers' love of driving and cars\u2019, so the concept will have at least some connection to the beloved two-seat sports car.<\/p>\n

Admittedly that\u2019s not a lot to go on, and neither is the single teaser image Mazda has shared which shows little more than a set of circular tail-lights, an illuminated rear running light and Mazda lettering. However, that's enough for us to suspect that the concept being revealed at Tokyo is a complete car, and potentially an evolution, of the \u2018Mazda Vision Study\u2019 we saw in November 2022.<\/p>\n
